This sounds promising. Hopefully, I'll be able to get my hands on a Wii by the time this game is released. :D

Yea, and I can go ahead and confirm that they're also doing the PC port. My speculation in the original CBn article from last August is slightly off. Move the Wii port over to Beenox and I think it's still good.

Do you currently own one of the other consoles/systems this game is planned to be released on?

Although I own a Wii, I won't get my hopes up. This developer rimarily does ports, with their first original game being Bee Movie Game. So I'll definitely be taking the wait and see approach.

I have a PS3 and I am looking forward to the increased graphical detail. If this Wii version starts to sound good, I will likely buy one just for it.

The Nintendo Wii graphics are horrible, especially the Harry Potter game. If you want 'increased graphical detail' the safest bet is to go with the XBox 360 or the PS3 versions, or both :D.

I dont care much for the Wii tbh, when I was playing on it round a friends I felt such a prat standing there, flinging my arms about playing on a console that was inspired by an 8 year olds word for Urine.

Precisely Mharkin. You may have mis-read my post, but the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will look excellent. Larger maps also I'd expect with more storage to use. As for Wii, they are Gamecubes with remotes to me. I'll see how this Wii Bond version come along first.

Na I didn't mis-read it, I just based my post on yours, to make sure no one ends up wasting their money on a Wii game. :D

Excellent!

I wouldn't buy them either. The only money I would fork out for a Wii game would be for Bond. I will wait and see with it though, it most likely will end up as a disappointment like the hyped Red Steel.

And Lair and Perfect Dark Zero were hyped as the second coming on PS3 and 360 so every games on those systems will be disappointments too. :D

i wish they would make a bond game in the same style/format of Call of Duty or Halo where its almost strictly a multplayer experience leaving lots of room for huge maps, tons of characters, and tons of weapons spanning across the entire bond universe. It seems like thats whats hot now anyway with online console gaming being as sharp as it is. But it would only be good if they didn't chinse out on it, i'll admit that nightfire, rogue agent and FRWL had decent multiplayer experiences but they never lived up to goldeneye for the 64. I think its time that someone comes out with a bond game that we can finally say, "holy crap, this is better than goldeneye"

Activision has been talking about making the franchise great again, and while that remains to be seen, I think it's obvious that by "great again" they're referring to GoldenEye. If this is the case then I think this game - though maybe not the Wii version (who can say at this point) - will have a very in-depth multiplayer experience. Not having that would be a huge mistake IMHO.

it really seems as if they havn't started production on this game which makes me worry because its slated to come out the same time as the movie or slightly before. That would mean they have like 7-8 months to do everything for this game which is basically no time when you look at games like the new Grand Theft Auto, the force unleashed and halo 3 (just off the top of my head). Those games they worked on for years. I've got a really bad feeling this game is going to be just another crappy "movie" game ala transformers, pirates of the carrabian , the world is not enough, tommorow never dies etc. etc. etc. ....if they have been working on this game since they got the rights from EA, then i apologize just seems like we would have more info if they have been

They've been working on the game for a long time now, I can assure you. I know people at Treyarch. Not to say it will turn out great, I don't know, but it's getting a good amount of development time (partially thanks to Bond 22's delay). Development time doesn't necessarily mean something will be a good game either.

The extra development time for the game definitely can't hurt. The graphics on the Wii won't be as pretty as the Xbox 360 or PS3 but I'm curious to see how they make the experience of playing the game on the Wii different than the other two.

I imagine it would be a few months before a trailer is released.

If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on not seeing or really hearing anything about the game till E3, which is in July. But that's just my guess.

Good guess, K1. E3 would be the perfect time for a big announcement.
